That takes about 15 seconds to accomplish, after which you can go crazy and start scanning everything in sight. Once the device is charged, you go through the calibration process. In the same plastic bag as the Doxie Go Wi-Fi is a calibration card that you need to pass through the device to complete the setup.įirst-time charging takes a while I plugged in the Doxie Go Wi-Fi while working and after four hours it was still charging. You open the box, and greeting you is a reference card covered with instructions. I like Apparent's way of packaging the device. You'll be able to scan photos or documents (the primary use case for Doxie) with this slot, one page and one side at a time. Passing through the center of the scanner is a paper slot. A recessed button might make this less likely to happen. There's also a mini-USB port for syncing - I thought this was a bizarre design choice, since most of the rest of the industry has already moved to micro-USB.Ībout the power button: I found it way too easy to accidentally turn the Doxie Go Wi-Fi on when picking up the device by one end. On one end you'll find a port to plug an AC adapter cable (included). There's one button on the device to turn the power on and off, a tiny Wi-Fi pairing button on the back of the Doxie, and an SD card slot on the back as well. That design was replaced with a much more businesslike plain white and black plastic design later, and the company has stuck with it. The first Doxie scanner was kind of an oddball, seemingly designed as a scanner for 10-year-old girls as it had pink hearts all over it.

This year's iteration of the little scanner is the US$229 Doxie Go Wi-Fi, bringing more built-in storage, an iOS app, and Wi-Fi to a popular accessory. TUAW has been following the story of Doxie, the mobile scanner, since day one.
